What are standard element types?

[Euclid-Bjoern]

I'm trying to use the function element_controller.start_standard_element_dialog(standard_element_type), but I keep getting the error that I'm entering the wrong argument.
I tried "beam", "standard_beam" etc. without success, what is the right kind of argument to feed this function?

It would be nice to be able to have the user select the standard element he wants to insert.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Euclid-Bjoern

import element_controller as ec
import cadwork


ec.start_standard_element_dialog(cadwork.standard_element_type.beam)

# available types

class standard_element_type(IntEnum):
    """standard element type

    Examples:
        >>> cadwork.standard_element_type.beam
        beam
    """
    beam = 0
    """"""
    panel = 2
    """"""
    vba = 3
    """"""
    exportSolid = 4
    """"""
    container = 5
    """"""
    metal = 6
    """"""
